The International-style Frederick and Harriet Rauh House, at 10068 Leacrest Road, was built in 1938 and is one of the first of its style in Ohio. CPA acquired the property in September 2011 from donor Emily Rauh Pulitzer and has restored the house from a state of dilapidation, even recreating its original landscape plan.
The privately-owned "Windy Hill", a Colonial Revival-style house at 348 Grove Road, was built in 1936 for real estate broker Albert J. Mayer, Jr. and his wife Angela. Inside, there are beautiful antiques and artwork, a stunning kitchen, and a hand-painted mural that recreates a scene from Chinese fabric.
CPA requests that interested parties order tickets by April 22 in order for event tickets and maps to be mailed. Ticket requests received after April 22 will be held at the will call location at the Rauh House.
The event is sponsored by Architects Plus, Crapsey & Gilles Contractors, and the Kroger Company.
